What would be a med-cloud image ? (but an image containing med-cloud
packages)
I would gladly help such thing with debian-cloud team when debian-cloud
team have procedures to build such images.
For raw/qcow2/ovh, it can be quite easy to build (you can transform
between each other).
Difficulty is more related to EC2 and specific setups per cloud.
